If you have to dry the dishes
(Such an awful boring chore)
If you have to dry the dishes
(‘Stead of going to the store)
If you have to dry the dishes
And you drop one on the floor
Maybe they won’t let you
Dry the dishes anymore
There’s a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire –
He likes it ’cause it’s cold in there.
Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.
When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?
Teddy said it was a hat,
So I put it on.
Now daddy’s sayin’
“Where the heck’s the toilet plunger gone?”

If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer,
Come in.
If you are a dreamer,
A wisher,
A liar,
A hoper,
A prayer,
A magic-bean-buyer,
If you’re a pretender,
Come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in! Come in!

He was almost there, when…
Smash! Crash! Bash!
He slid down and mashed into engine hash
